Installation and Operating Instructions

1.  Holding gate with locking bar (notched side up, as shown) towards you and away from the child, slide gate apart so the bumpers are touching the sides of the opening.  You may have to lift locking pin to clear notches.

2.  Lift the locking bar up and insert the locking pin into the desired slot and push down on locking bar.  This should put pressure on the 4 bumpers holding the gate in place.  If it is still loose in the opening, move the locking pin to the next slot until you ge a good solid fit in the opening.

Do not force the locking bar down.  This could put so much pressure on the bar that it could do damage to your opening, the gate or both.  (The locking bar will have a slight bow.  However, if the bow is large, ease off one slot, making sure it still has a good solid hold in the opening.)

3.  Slide the locking clip over the end of the locking bar to lock the bars in place.

4.  To open the gate, slide the locking clip off the top bar and pull up on the locking bar; the memory lock feature will hold the locking pin in the slot for use again in the same opening.  If you put the gate in a new opening, you will have to readjust the locking pin.
